Misc. Information:

In 2002, curated artwork for painter, the late Anthony Palumbo for his Retrospective Exhibition at the Art Students League of New York; prepared all support materials for show and catalogue During the 1970’s, worked In Broadway theatre with master Set/Lighting Designer, the late Jo Mielziner and Director/Writer, the late Abe Burrows on “Hellzapoppin!”

Artist's Statement

My background was in theatre working with a Broadway master set and lighting designer whose classic, innovative images were inspirational; my father had been a W.P.A. artist whose imagery reflected our society of that era and my mentor was greatest guiding force in bringing these extraordinary influences together. These powerfully gifted, different individuals propelled experimenting and development of my personal, imaginative visual expression. My art departs from tradition rooted from a mysterious, primitive place within. I am impassioned to paint, create monoprint woodcuts, mixed media woodcuts and masks. Allegoric Abstraction/Expression is how life translates. Texture, color, story, form, movement and materials compel my painterly prints, as well as, oil paintings. Reaching out through Art is where I can communicate the human experience. My personal vision and imagination are the oeuvre for my visual storytelling, humanity and spirituality. In 1993, I was invited to have a one-woman exhibition of oil paintings at the Poliforum Cultural Siqueiros in Mexico City. This museum was dedicated and named after Mexican muralist, David Alfaro Siqueiros. My exhibit was well received by the art community and newspapers. My art has been included in numerous group shows in New York and abroad. In 1999, my paintings were included in an exhibition of American art through the Art in Embassies Program, c/o U.S.Department of State, U.S. Ambassadorial Residence in Niamey, Niger, Africa for three years. “The work of Phyllis Tracy Malinow is vibrant, full of life, and from her heart...” Richard Pantell, 2001 “From her stunning reverence for textured color, Phyllis Tracy Malinow gives us a most thoughtful and captivating poetry...” William Scharf, 1999 “Phyllis Tracy Malinow creates an unusual effect with an enormous smiling figure that dominates each large painting...” ARTSPEAK, 1992 “Phyllis Tracy Malinow’s abstractions of large powerful, all enveloping symbols are mysterious.” ARTSPEAK, 1991
